Three trick-or-treaters stand at a front door: one in a pumpkin costume, one in a dress with a candy bag, one in a witch hat, each holding a bucket, with a jack-o-lantern hanging on the door, a cobweb in the corner, bats, bare branches and a crescent moon above. It is a full scene with a lot of small separate pieces, costumes, pumpkins on the step, the door panels, which is why it lands with the harder drawings. Trick-or-treating in this form took hold in America in the 1930s, when the phrase first appeared in print, and the door with a lit pumpkin is still the signal that a house is taking part. The little witch with a broom is the same costume, on her own.
How to color Trick-or-treating at the front door
- pink Give each costume its own color: orange for the pumpkin suit, black or purple for the witch, any bright color for the dress.
- A dark red or brown for the door and orange for every pumpkin, on the door and on the step.
- Night blue for the sky, the moon and stars left white, and grey for the bare branches.
